There’s Nothing Better Than Mississippi’s Natural Lazy River On A Summer’s Day

Summer temperatures and outdoor activities are generally not a good combination in Mississippi. Unless, of course, that outdoor activity involves a cool and refreshing natural lazy river, and that’s where Canoe and Trail Outpost comes in. Take a look:

In business since 1975, Canoe and Trail Outpost (CTO) is located on the scenic Bogue Chitto River in the small town of Tylertown.

CTO rents tubes, canoes, and kayaks, providing a great way to have some outdoor fun all while staying nice and cool.

Since the water in the Bogue Chitto flows at a slow pace, it's great for tubing.

Tubing down the river takes about four hours, giving you plenty of time to relax and enjoy the cool waters of Bogue Chitto.

As you slowly meander along, you’ll pass plenty of sandbars, where you can stop for a quick dip or picnic.

Since CTO is open seven days a week (from March through December), you’ll have plenty of chances to visit and experience the natural beauty of the river.

CTO will provide practically everything you need for a relaxing float, including life jackets, which are required for children 12 and under.

CTO also offers cabin rentals, primitive campsites and RV hook-ups, so you can turn your visit into an overnight adventure.

Delivering a day of fun in the sun and memories that are sure to last a lifetime, a float down Bouge Chitto should definitely be on your summer bucket list.

Canoe and Trail Outpost is located at 118 Dillons Bridge Road in Tylertown. For more information, visit the company’s website or Facebook page.
